mechanize._mechanize.FormNotFoundError: no form matching name 'form' #28
Description
Hey,
I've tried the example from the README.md and installed the app as described.
Unfortunatley it fails because the HTML docs has no HTML-Form named form.

mechanize._mechanize.FormNotFoundError: no form matching name 'form'
What I discovered so far is that follow_link (on line 72) with "Advanced search" is responding with the main page and not with the "rendered" response of "Erweiterte Suche".
response_search = self.browser.follow_link(text="Advanced search")Link-element with title "Advanced search" on main page, that is included in the response:
<a tabindex="-1" title="Advanced search" class="ui-menuitem-link ui-corner-all rpNavMainMenuItem" href="#" onclick="PF(\'sidebar1\').hide();PrimeFaces.ab({s:"j_idt27",f:"headerForm"});return false;">
<span class="ui-menuitem-icon ui-icon fa fa-search-plus" aria-hidden="true"></span>
<span class="ui-menuitem-text">Advanced search</span>
</a>Could someone with more knowleadge of this lib check if this was working with the current website of Handelsregister or is there a major change that breaks the lib?
I'm glad to help solve this issue, but before I try to overcome the JQuery rendering with Selenium I'd like to know if mechanize was before able to handle this behaviour?
Greetings David
